Case Details
An Olmstead County judge awarded victims of a drunk driver a $15 million verdict against the drunk driver and three bars that illegally served him alcohol, leading to a crash that killed a 9-year-old boy, paralyzed a 7-year-old boy, and permanently injured a woman.
Additional Notes
The drunk driver was assigned 50% blame, and the three bars shared the remaining 50% liability under Minnesota's dram shop laws. The victims were entirely without fault.
